Pinpoint Test I: DTC C1991 - Module Calibration Failure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lincoln MKX and 2007 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: The RSC warning indicator flashes when a system calibration is required. Calibration is required after certain DTCs are cleared.
NOTE: Make sure the vehicle is not on a hoist and is sitting on level ground before carrying out ABS module calibration.
  1. I1 CHECK FOR DTCs 
    • Connect the diagnostic tool.
    • Key in ON position.
    • Retrieve and record any ABS module DTCs.
    • Are any other DTCs retrieved along with C1991? 
    1. YES  : Go to the ABS DTC Chart.

      Some of the pinpoint tests recommend ABS module calibration prior to any further diagnostics. In this case, go to  I2.

    2. NO  : Go to  I2.
  2. I2 CALIBRATE THE ABS MODULE 
    • Carry out the ABS module calibration per the scan tool instructions.
    • Does the calibration complete for all of the roll stability control sensors, and does the stability control active/fail lamp stop flashing and turn off? 
    1. YES  : Go to  I3.
    2. NO  : Go to  I4.

      Some concerns cause the calibration not to complete. If sent here from another pinpoint test, return to that pinpoint test for further diagnostics.

  3. I3 CLEAR DTC C1991 
    • Using the scan tool, clear the DTC.
    • Does the DTC clear? 
    1. YES  : TEST DRIVE the vehicle above 32 km/h (20 mph) and CARRY OUT at least one ABS stop. REPEAT the self-test.

      If sent here from another pinpoint test, return to that pinpoint test for further diagnostics.

    2. NO  : Go to  I4.
  4. I4 MONITOR THE STEERING WHEEL ROTATION SENSOR PID 
    • Key in ON position.
    • Using the scan tool, monitor the ABS module SWA POS PID while rotating the steering wheel clockwise and counterclockwise very slowly.
    • Does the PID move in intervals of 1 degree? 
    1. YES  : Go to Pinpoint Test F .
    2. NO  : Go to Pinpoint Test E .
